Leak Detection : Signs of water leaks and precautions

You may have already noticed some signs of a water leak, for example the noise of water even when nothing is being used, a reduction in pressure at the cold kitchen tap, a patch of greener grass in your front lawn or a damp patch on tarmac. Apart from the obvious signs of leakage there are a few useful pointers:

Know where the isolation points are i.e. the stop taps internal and external.

Check that its operational and accessible.

Ensure that pipes are well insulated and isolated or drained down if no longer required.

Lag all exposed pipework. Have your boiler routinely serviced.

Have your cylinder, room and radiator thermostats set to reasonable temperatures.

Check condensate pipes from your boiler if the pipe freezes your boiler may fail to operate.
